Flowers & Florists in Cameron Highlands
Malaysia’s Flower Capital
Cameron Highlands is the largest flower-producing region in Malaysia, supplying fresh-cut chrysanthemums, roses, carnations and ornamental plants to markets across the country. The cool highland climate produces larger, longer-lasting blooms than lowland cultivation can achieve.
The flower industry is concentrated in the northern highlands around Tringkap, Kea Farm and Brinchang, where large commercial greenhouses and open-field flower farms cover the hillside terraces.
Where to Buy Flowers
The best place for fresh-cut flowers at farm-direct prices is Kea Farm market on Route 59. A bunch of chrysanthemums that costs RM20+ at a city florist may sell here for RM5–8. Arrive early morning for the freshest selection.
Roadside nurseries throughout the highland corridor sell both cut flowers and potted plants. The Cameron Highlands Flora Park offers ornamental plants and miniature roses — distinctive Cameron souvenirs.
